Securing the Chassis Ground

After you mount the chassis, secure the chassis ground as follows:

To properly ground the chassis, Dell Networking recommends using a 6 AWG

two-hole lug, #10 hole size, 63" spacing (not included in shipping). The two-

hole lug must be a UL recognized, crimp-type lug. To connect the ground

cable to the framework or cabinet and to mount the unit, use thread-forming

unit mounting screws that remove paint or nonconductive coatings.

CAUTION: Grounding conductors must be made of copper. Do not use

aluminum conductors.

NOTE: The rack installation “ears” are not suitable for grounding.

NOTE: Coat the two-hole lug with an anti-oxidant compound prior to

crimping. Also, bring any unplated mating surfaces to a shiny finish and

coat with an anti-oxidant prior to mating. Plated mating surfaces must

be clean and free from contamination.

NOTE: Never use the same bolts to secure multiple grounding cables.

1. Locate the two-hole chassis ground connector nuts on the chassis back.
